Who Are The Best 88-Rated Players In EA FC 25?
Given his evolution potential, the now extinct Total Rush Neymar Jr is widely considered to be the best 88-rated player in EA FC 25. The base Icon variants of Bale and Patrick Vieira are also up there, though, as while the former is a demon on the wings, the latter is a variant of arguably the game’s best CM (together with Gullit). For those looking for a cheaper but still meta pick, TOTW Raphinha is both a great card by himself and a prime candidate for pretty much all LW evos.
Now that you know who the best and cheapest 88-rated players in EA FC 25 are, and so you can make sure you are ready for Ultimate TOTS, don’t forget to also take a look at the cheapest 90-rated cards in EA FC 25 FUT.
